I bet you'd like to know the story behind this poll. I may post it in a bit. I'd go with the bear attack.

Found a gray hair?

Mauled by bear, because in old age you gotta worry about kids on your lawn and diaper brands. Plus it's funnier for other people a few years later.

Found a gray hair?

A few years ago, thats why I keep my head shaved or nearly shaved.

There was a black bear that was hanging out in a residential area around here, and because people are pathetic, it turned into a tourist attraction. One woman went and picked her 80 year old mother up from a nursing home just to take her to see a bear up in a tree. Someone said that was a bad idea because the old woman couldn't run if the bear got vicious, I took the opposite side, saying that if it were me, I'd rather be mauled by a bear because nobody forgets the guy who gets mauled. If I were killed by a bear, people who know me would think about me everytime they saw one, while if I died of old age, they wouldn't think about me everytime they saw an old person.

Mauled by bear, of course. Only way I'd make the evening news... :P

Actually I may get mauled by a bear. I live in Columbus, Ohio but work in Chillicothe, Ohio. Down in Chillicothe a bear is on the loose from the southern Ohio woods. they've tried to catch it, with no luck.

Somewhere years ago, I saw a joke that went something like this--- 'I'd rather die quietly in my sleep like Grandpa, rather than screaming like his passengers'.

What if I add "masturbated by a bear" to the poll?

Why not...that approach worked for Michael Hutchence and David Carradine.

Found my first gray hairs on my chest when I wore my contacts into the shower 2 New Year's Days ago. Felt like taking a Sharpee to them ;)

Totally crude, but I've got a long term friend who went to a different high school than I did. One of the popular people at my friend's high school wanted to know what sex with an animal was like, so (popular kid) tried to have oral sex with a cow...with the cow playing "catcher."

Guy was de-nutted and de-shafted in short order, and there wasn't anything the doctors could do. And I am NOT making this up.

Anything involving animals and Human private parts is a bad idea, methinks...

Oh, and my friend went to high school in Alabama if that means anything.

I'd rather not die old, so I'll take the mauling.

Anything involving general bestiality is a bad idea. Mr. Hands can attest to that. Just ask ... him ... oh wait.

Somebody at the campground told me yesterday a bear had been sighted on the property. I got skeered.

Old age, simply because it's said the best years of your life are the ones between retirement and death. The trick is to keep yourself healthy enough to enjoy them.

Any day above ground seems to beat the alternative.

To me the best days of my life are any days I am with my family. I skipped the SCCA autocross today just to spend the day with my wife and kids. Skipped a car show I wanted to go to yesterday to spend the time with my wife and kids.

Nothing beats family, IMHO.

I'm going to go like the guy at the end of the Monte Python's "Meaning of Life"... chased to death by a group of topless women.

Sounds like more fun that way...
